SO GOOD! I used butter instead of shortening and didn't knead them, just formed the dough into a ball and then rolled it out to 1" thickness. I took one reviewer's suggestion and brushed them with melted butter before baking, and then brushed them again when they came out. AMAZING! Gave them some extra flavor and a crispness to the top. Why would I ever use a different recipe?

Chocolate Ganache

Reviewed: Mar. 24, 2011

Easy and delicious! Left out the rum because I didn't have any. Thickly covered a single layer 8" cake with about a cup left over so I think it could easily do a 2 layer cake. But it was so rich, a single layer cake was a decadent treat.

Easy Garlic Broiled Chicken

Reviewed: Mar. 9, 2011

Easy and delicious. Will be my go-to recipe for a quick chicken dinner. I used bone-in thighs and baked for 35 minutes, then broiled 5 minutes per side.

Slow-Cooker Chicken Tortilla Soup

Reviewed: Oct. 7, 2010

My sister said it tasted like I had used all "fresh" ingredients. I used 5 frozen chicken breasts and shredded them a few hours before serving. I had some leftover rice that I put out as well, and everyone really liked the soup with the rice together. It also stretched the soup and we had more leftover for the next day!

Baked Spiced Chicken

Reviewed: Apr. 27, 2010

I used olive oil and only 2 tsp. of paprika. Turned out moist and tasty! I recommend a meat thermometer to keep from overcooking. Served with a mixture of different brown rices. Will for sure make this again!

Cheddar Baked Chicken

Reviewed: Oct. 8, 2009

Next time I will follow the directions exactly! I left out the butter in the bottom of the pan to make it more healthy. The extra calories would have been worth it. This was delicious! I doubled it and am SO glad I did! I'll freeze the extra pieces on a cookie sheet then pop them in a ziploc bag. Then we'll have a quick dinner ready on a busy day.

London Broil

Reviewed: Jul. 29, 2009

Delicious grilled! Grill over medium flame 2-3 minutes, rotate 45 degrees, grill 2-3 more minutes. Flip, rotate after 2-3 minutes, flip again after 2-3 minutes. Cook over low heat until juice begins to rise to top of beef. Flip and repeat for other side. Transfer to clean plate, cover with foil and let rest for 15 minutes. Perfect!
